This streaming service isn’t only for U.S. This is a worldwide subscription streaming service. The contents are different from every geographical region. So, the contents which are been broadcasted in other countries may not be shown in U.S or Vice Versa. The company isn’t really fond of bypassing its geographical restrictions. There are some legal reasons for it. So, the best thing you can do if your country is restricted to watch is investing in a VPN service. Netflix started blocking streaming by using VPN, Proxy or Unblockers. But, There are still some VPN services which works with netflix. I would like to suggest you PureVPN, VyprVPN etc. Some of their servers still work with netflix.

You want to get the most of your money when you are paying 9.99$ every month. So, it really makes sense to watch contents in HD. Many people don’t even check settings of the video.

Then click on Viewing Activity under My profile. There you will get the list of everything you have ever watched. There is “X” at the end of every title featuring. Just click on “X” to delete those histories.

You can Use Your Smartphone as a Netflix Remote:

If you watch Netflix on your video consoles then you have an additional challenge. Actually, the controllers for the systems are clunky to use as remote controls with the service. It is better to watch Netflix on smart TV’s but still you can use your smartphone as a dedicated remote control. You have to make sure that the smartphone is on the same WiFi network as your console or smart TV. Open Netflix app on smartphone and console, choose content and hit the “cast” button at top of your screen on your smartphone. Now, choose the device you want to control with your smartphone.
